Frequência do íman ortográfico “plural”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 9 spelling variants around plural (IPA /plʊˈɾaw/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #11,127 among 1,578 “P” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for plural, with forms such as "lpural", "pllural", and "plrual". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "pluvial", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Portuguese form is plural, spelled P-L-U-R-A-L.
